APC unveils manifesto this week .



2015: We will put to shame those prophesying crisis in APC – Senator Lanlehin


The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to unveil its “Road map to a New Nigeria” at the Party’s National Summit to be held in Abuja on Thursday.
The party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement in Lagos yesterday that the Road map will detail the party’s priorities in fixing the widespread failings of successive PDP governments since 1999, in order to bring hope and succour to the long-suffering people of Nigeria.
It said the Road map was a product of an empirical and painstaking process embarked upon by the APC, in a deviation from the old practice of packaging such documents on a whim.
‘’With conditions deteriorating throughout Nigeria, with security an ever increasing concern, with the lack of jobs pushing families and young people further and further into poverty and with new stories of corruption within the PDP government appearing day after day, the APC decided to commission the largest ever public opinion survey in
Nigerian history to determine the current status of things in the nation directly from those who knew best – the actual people of Nigeria.
‘’The results were even more revealing than the APC had anticipated:
When asked, ‘If the election were held today, would you vote for Goodluck Jonathan or the candidate of the All Progressives Congress’, the APC candidate held a 10-point lead over the President. By a margin of 44% to 34% (with 22% undecided), the APC candidate was the clear national choice.
‘’When asked, ‘In general, do you think things in Nigeria are going in a good direction or bad direction’, by a staggering more than two-to-one margin (50%-24%), Nigerians responded that the country was going in a bad direction. When asked, ‘What issue would you like the
President and National Assembly to focus on most’, an overwhelming majority (60%) said jobs was the dominant issue that the government should address.
‘’And then when asked if they found the following statement convincing or note, ‘Goodluck Jonathan has done nothing to create jobs, and far too many people are still unemployed’, decisively, 58% of Nigerians found that argument about Jonathan convincing.
Finally when asked if Jonathan was doing a good or bad job fighting corruption, 59% Nigerians thought Jonathan was doing a bad job fighting corruption.
‘’The voice of the people was clear: The nation is going in the wrong direction. The nation wants change and would not vote to re-elect Jonathan in part because the number one issue to Nigerians is jobs and the nation believes Jonathan has no credibility on the issue of job creation,’’ APC said.
According to the party, the unveiling of the party’s Road map, designed with the survey results in mind and the real needs of the Nigerian people made evident by the people themselves, will be the clearest indication yet that the Movement for Change has indeed begun.

Missing construction worker worries Oworonshoki residents.

Image
Although nine persons are said to have been rescued from a building that collapsed on Sand Beach Lane, in the Oworonshoki area of Lagos, residents still suspect that a corpse may be lying in the rubble. Last Thursday, around 11am, the two-storey building collapsed while construction work was going on, leaving about 10 people trapped – including three children – in the rubble for awhile. After efforts by government agencies such as the Lagos State Emergency Management Authority and the National Emergency Management Authority, the victims, who were seriously injured, were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for medical attention. On Sunday afternoon, when our correspondent visited the area, some people staying around the sand beach said there were strong indications that there was a dead body still lying under the rubble. One of them, Mr. Kazeem Hassan, said, “We were the ones who first rushed to the building to bring out the workers. We initially rescued e...

2015: Jonathan To Decide Whether To Run Soon

Image
Following the release of the 2015 election timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, President Goodluck Jonathan will soon hold a strategic meeting with his kitchen cabinet to decide on whether or not to run, his Special Adviser on Inter-Party Affairs, Senator Ben Obi, has said. However, the decision may not be taken until April because the Presidency may want to spend the next 90 days on effective governance to better the lot of the citizenry in line with the President’s promise of a better 2014 for Nigerians. In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Obi, who also described as uncalled for the directive of the Interim National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to its federal lawmakers to shut down governance, said it was worrisome that leading politicians and elders were making reckless and inflammatory statements that could hurt the country. Asked if Jonathan will declare his ambition now following the INEC’s timetable, he ...
